Honey Soy Matemba

Ingredients

  • 1 cup matemba
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoon canola oil for cooking
  • 1 scallion chopped finely

Instructions

  1. For the sauce, stir together garlic, honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, water, and sesame oil.
  2. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is heated, add matemba and stir for about a minute until matemba starts to turn golden.
  3. Push the matemba to one side of the pan away from the heat. Tilt the pan and pour the sauce from step one into the pan so that the sauce is on the side of the pan that is directly over the heat source. Once the sauce starts bubbling and the garlic becomes fragrant, level the pan and stir matemba with the sauce. Mix well until the pan becomes almost dry; this should happen very quickly. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Serve immediately topped with sesame seeds and and scallions.
